大般涅槃經集解 62.34

62.34

Sengliang notes: The tenth section praises the Buddha. Because the scriptures are spoken by the Buddha, in principle he should be praised. But because speech arises from compassion, he first asks. Baoliang says: Among the four kinds of birth, birth by transformation is the most superior, yet the Buddha took birth from a womb for the sake of sentient beings. The weight of his grace and virtue is such that it evokes praise.
